With both ends of the ES700 sporting WP XPLOR components , it ’ s extremely capable over a very wide range of conditions . The brakes are great and the ABS has multiple modes including completely off . The almost 700cc engine has a huge amount of go , but the EURO5 controls have neutered the bottom end to a degree . The seat is high at 940mm , which might put off shorter trail riders . If you are looking for a glorious-looking hoon machine that has a huge range of capability from road to real dirt exploring the GasGas ES700 is a must-ride option , and is in the running for the best trail bike on the NZ market .
